Now I want to research things more in-depth..

Revisado: 06-15-21

...and that is always a good thing.

Clear presentation; chapter titles were good indicators of the topics.

Always, accounts of brain research intrigue me. Coincidentally, this morning I read a newspaper article explaining research findings of the effects of menopause (pre-, peri-, post) on the female brain which was not addressed in this course (not a criticism, merely an observation) but findings connected to points addressed in this course. I mention this to emphasize that some lectures in this course could be updated quite often due to ongoing research. Fascinating topic.

For med. science and history buffs

Revisado: 01-25-21

I enjoyed this book immensely. I like the connections between, history, science and culture. Lister's maverick attitude, intelligence, perseverance, communication skills and integrity provide a model for today's scientists and inventors. I am not daunted by the down and dirty details of medical procedures. If the thought of pus, blood, amputations and other surgical realities make you queasy, this book is not for you.

Entertaining sci-fi

Revisado: 05-02-19

Clever tale incorporating technology, planetary exploration, anthropology, cultures, art of war, replicant logistics, negotiation, relationships. I got hooked within the first couple chapters. great performance by narrator ( though his pronunciation of Archimedes puzzled me). I listen at double sided and his words weren't muddled together.

interesting character

Revisado: 04-09-19

I'm no psychologist but it was interesting to follow Eleanor's journey. This was a read for a book club and I didn't have high expectations. I really enjoyed it for the dialogue, Eleanor's honesty and bluntness, and that reality of how a random occurrence or chance meeting can set in motion an unexpected change in life and perspective. Haven't we all had at least one experience like that in real life. The question is, do we sit up and take notice. Eleanor's analytical approach to life means she can't help but take notice.

The voice work is captivating, but then I'm a sucker for Scottish accents.

I was expecting some of the outcomes and tangential journeys, but I was also surprised by some of the plot points.

I readily recommend this Audible selection even though I prefer non-fiction.

This deserves multiple listens.

Excellent reading performance. Simple story but with such depth that I need to 'reread it'.

Unforgettable story but annoying recording

Revisado: 07-22-18

This was my introduction to Catherine Siena. She was a remarkable woman, based on all the letters and passages compiled here. She had some unique perspectives on faith and living for Christ.

The recording was full of repetitive phrases. I wondered if editors were asleep at the recording studio or if there is a glitch with the system. It was distracting. I expect better quality.

Riveting experience

Revisado: 04-11-18

I thoroughly enjoyed the mix of fiction/non-fiction. A book that inspires me to delve deeper into a topic is a treasure. On the whole, satisfying performance. Some of the actors' parts were spoken too fast for my liking (I consulted Kindle version to reread some of the parts rather than slow down the audio), and I don't think it was part of the character representation. I expect words to be pronounced correctly. Even one mispronunciation (popliteal - look it up for goodness sakes!) is annoyingly distracting.

fascinating blend of science and history

Revisado: 03-27-18

I learned so much about both. I'm always intrigued learning about how things work and how mechanical problems are solved.... the evolution of technology. I wasn't keen on the narrator - his delivery was choppy.
